One-Third More
Autos Than Last Year
Receipts of the state automobile
department of the secretary of state's
office for the first seven months of
19 1 6 totaled 1132,044.50, as com
pared with $108,881.50 for the en
tire twelve months of 1915.
A steady Increase in the number of
motor vehicles in Oregon is shown.
Last year there were 23,585 automo
biles and motorcycles. This year,
with five months yet remaining,
there are 30,504 automobiles regis
tered and 3,207 motorcycles.
The number of dealers" who have
taken out licenses this year is 266, as
compared with 173 in 1915. Chauf
feur registrations this year, number
ing 3,323, are less than in 1915, when
4,131 were listed. Thfs is believed
accounted for by the fact that last
year the operation of Jitney busses
reached its maximum and there has
been a decrease in the number oper
ated since that time.
Oregon's gain in motor vehicles of
all classes in the last six years is
effectively shown in the following,
giving the number of the different
years: 1911, 6,428; 1912. 10,165;
1913, 13,957; 1914, 19,245; 1915,

Sale of Round Valley
Indian Lands
The secretary of the interior had
authorized the public sale at Willits,
Cal., commencing at 10 o'clock a. m.
on August 29, 1916, of the undis
posed lands in the Round Valley In
dian reservation, California, under
the act of February 8, 1905 (33 Stat..
706). The lands are located in Men
docino and Trinity counties, Califor
nia, in the San Francisco and Eureka
land districts, and have an aggregate
area of 44,106.73, which have been
appraised at $56,230.79. The lands
have been arranged in 302 blocks,
having an average of 146 acres In
each block. The lands are to he sold
at not less than the appraised price
in the manner in which they have
j been blocked out, though the superin
tendent of sale may first offer less
Ithan an entire block. Purchasers
w ill be required to pay at least one
third down, the balance In two equal
annual installments, with Interest at
5 per cent per annum on deferred
payments, in addition to commissions.
No limit is fixed as to the amount
of land any one person may buy, and
no showing will be required as to age,
citizenship, residence, cultivation or
improvements.
The lands are In general moun
tainous, with small valleys, and are
almost entirely covered with brush
and timber. The timber, aside from
madrona, consists of oaks, valuable
only for firewood, and conifers, of
doubtful economlo value.
The country is well adapted by na
ture to almost any kind of agricul
tural use. Vine and fruit, as well as
grain and alfalfa culture, should, it
is reported, be highly successful as
far as the raising of crops is con
cerned, and poultry and dairy prod
ucts should do well. Progress along
these lines has been hampered by
lack of market facilities. The near
est railroad point is Dos Rlos, four
teen miles from Covelo, and eighteen
miles from the nearest point on the
lands to be sold. The preesnt princi
pal industry of settlers Is the raising
of cattle and hogs, and some sheep.
A schedule of lands and other in
formation in regard to the sale may
be obtained upon inquiry of the regis
ter and receiver of the U. S. Land
Offices at San Francisco and Eureka,
California, or of the superintendent
of sale, at the time of sale.

John lliirrjmoie in The Red Widow
"Star" Week at the Vining Brings
Seven Greatest Stars in Movies
Beginning tonight and extending
over next Sunday night, the seven
greatest attractions, starring the sev
en greatest stars in the motion pic
ture industry, will be shown at the
Vining Theatre. This is absolutely
the greatest week of attractions yet
offered at the Vining.
.Matinees.
On account of the extraordinary
attraction of every feature of the
week, there, will be dally matinees
at 2:30 p. m. for this week.
Monday.
"The Spell of the Yukon," a pic
turization of the famous poem of the
same name by Robert W. Service,
the "Kipling of the Northwest," will
be the opening feature and perhaps
the greatest of the week's features.
Those who saw the picture this af
ternoon proclaim it a wonderful pic
ture which has caught the spirit of
the poet of the northland and thrown
upon the screen a story alive with
the haunting terrors, the grim men
and the stern fight of the cold reach
es of the north. This attraction, a
Metro picture, features the brilliant
dramatic actor, Edmund Breese.
Tuesday.
John Barrymore, star of the legit
imate stage, unexcelled and, since
his entrance into pictures, the great
est of them all, brings "The Red
Widow" to the Vining Tuesday night.
In direct succession a series of the
most excruciatingly comical situa
tions develop in this great comedy
which give the great comedian and
his cast of supporters, any of whom
would star by himself, an opportun
ity to develop a comedy which will
stand as a classic of the film. As a
corset salesman in Russia, Barry
more runs into a combination of
bombs, nihilists, women, Siberia and
embarrassing situations which keei,
the audience shaking with mirth.
Wednesday.
On Wednesday comes Robert War
wick, the eminent dramatic artist,
in "Sudden Riches," a photoplay of
distinguished inspiration dealing
with a vital modern problem.
The story of "Sudden Riches"
deals with a legacy of hate. Old Ab
ner Crewe, a miser and recluse, wills
his great fortune to his nephew, Rob
ert, in a spirit of revenge. He counts
on this sudden wealth to wreck the
young man's life.
Robert, his young wife ana baby
are perfectly happy until old Abner's
millions fall at their feet. What
follows bears out the cunning ole,
miser's prophecyT The sudden riches
lead them straight toward destruc
tion, In the end Robert redeems
himself by a great act, and the in
fluence of parental love tjrges the
young couple to reconciliation.
Thursday.
On Thursday comes "The Beggar
of Cawnpore" and "The Bitter Pill.
H. B. Warner, Triangle star, is the
beggar in "The Beggar of Cawn
pore." The story opens in a crumb
ling, stinking mud hut on the Indian
desert about the year 1857. A doc
tor in the BritiBh army succumbs to
the morphine habit while attempting
to nurse a cholera-stricken friend
back to health, unaided in the heart
of the desert. He tries to overcome
the habit for the sake of a girl, and
the fight against the insidious grip
of the drug is a wonderful exhibition
of acting. The Sepoy mutiny, thrill
ing scenes and resulting eventualities
give Warner a rare chance to display
his histrionic powers.
"The Bitter Pill" is a Keystone
comedy that is really funny, featur
ing Mack Swain and a gang of Key
stone funmakers.
Friday.
The big feature for Friday needs
but little exploitation. It Is Mar
guerite Clark in "Molly Make-Be-lieve."
Is not that enough?
And also the Sellg Athletic film

feature which is creating so much
interest among the men folks yes,
and the women too.
Only those who have witnessed the
diminutive star's portrayal of one
of these irresistible little scamps can
possibly realize the infinite charm
with which Miss Clary invests her in
terpretatlon8. Molly Is one of the
most lovable creature in all fiction
and Miss Clark Is admirably suited
by temperament and by artistic skill
to visualize the petite bearer of good
tidings whom Eleanor Hallowel Ab-
bott so delightfully described in her
popular book.
Saturday.
Saturday brings Norma Talmadge
in "The Children in the House" andi"0eB wttB useu Uluer eHrB'
.Tne .Trksnn fn "The I.lon and the
Girl."
"The Children In the House" is a
gripping drama dealing with a prob-
lem which ranks high in American
life today and has not been solved,
Inimitable acting, a story which is
"different," wonderful settings and
a plot which enthralls make this a
picture well worth seeing.
Joe Jackson and his educated tri-
angle bicycle comes in another of
those Keystone comedies which make
you laugh until the tears come.
, Sunday.
And the last of the week's attrac -
Hons is a fitting climax. A produc-1 3. For each suggestion made
Hon on a scale attempted only In j which in the opinion of the superln
about four pictures which have been tendent warranted the Issuance of

Island of Surprise," featuring W1I- j did not involve actual labor to cor
liam Courtenay, Eleanor Woodruff , rect but which had heretofore been
and Zena Keefe, Is a truly great pic -
ture.
With his memory blank of preced
ing events in his life, and with two
beautiful girls both claiming to be
his wife as the three are Btranded on
an island in the South Seas, infested
with ferocious savages, the hero of
the new Vitagraph Blue Ribbon Fea
ture, "The Island of Surprise," has
a problem which would rack the
brains of the ordinary story-teller.
Cyrus Townsend Brady, however,
from whose novel the film was pic
turized, is no ordinary story-teller,
and he finds a way of deciding the
point in question.
